As you can see, our stand at the Hotelympia exhibition here at Excel is pretty eye catching once again. So another thank you to Barry and Mike of Silverwood Exhibitions who designed and erected it for us (and will be taking it away on Thursday). They are a very hard working team and I'm sure that, with their non-stop wisecracking, if the exhibition business every dries up, there would be a new career for them on stage.
This is our first exhibition as part of the Zip group so we are going to have a Zip colleague with us every day of the show as we have a Zip under counter boiler and chiller on show and we need to listen to the experts so that we can learn about it. Jason Lee drew the short straw and did the Sunday stint with us yesterday. Keen Milwall fan Jason lives in Sidcup and covers the SE London area for Zip. It was good to meet him and get to learn a little bit more about our parent company's methods and operations.
Also with us on the stand for a few days is Anton Scoones the young head chef of the General Tarleton near Knaresborough. Anton is helping us to demonstrate the benefits of sous vide cooking and using our SV38 digital water bath to do so. I can now report that this product has won an award in the Caterer And Hotelkeeper new product awards and we are going to be presented with our prize tomorrow.
Here is Aton's sous vide signature chicken dish that he cooked up yesterday. We can't serve the food as we didn't want to go through all the hoops necessary to do so but it certainly looks mouth wateringly good and the aroma attracted a few hungry visitors to the stand yesterday. We weren't overly busy but we had some good leads and a very nice visit from the lads from Calomax who tell me that they read the blog. Thanks Tony and Michael that made my day.I always wondered who the reader was. But Tony, your web site says "You cannot do better than a boiler by Calomax". Now come on. Poetic license?
Isn't it amazing that when there is a horrendous earthquake in Chile the newspapers and news bulletins lead with two grown men one of whom wouldn't shake hands with the other. You couldn't make it up.
